After
the
feast
(
more
or
less
)
came
the
Speech
.
Most
of
the
company
were
,
however
,
now
in
a
tolerant
mood
,
at
that
delightful
stage
which
they
called
'
filling
up
the
corners
'
.
They
were
sipping
their
favourite
drinks
,
and
nibbling
at
their
favourite
dainties
,
and
their
fears
were
forgotten
.
They
were
prepared
to
listen
to
anything
,
and
to
cheer
at
every
full
stop
.
62
My
dear
People
,
began
Bilbo
,
rising
in
his
place
.
'
Hear
!
Hear
!
Hear
!
'
they
shouted
,
and
kept
on
repeating
it
in
chorus
,
seeming
reluctant
to
follow
their
own
advice
.
Bilbo
left
his
place
and
went
and
stood
on
a
chair
under
the
illuminated
tree
.
The
light
of
the
lanterns
fell
on
his
beaming
face
;
the
golden
buttons
shone
on
his
embroidered
silk
waistcoat
.
They
could
all
see
him
standing
,
waving
one
hand
in
the
air
,
the
other
was
in
his
trouser-pocket
.
63
My
dear
Bagginses
and
Boffins
,
he
began
again
;
and
my
dear
Tooks
and
Brandybucks
,
and
Grubbs
,
and
Chubbs
,
and
Burrowses
,
and
Hornblowers
,
and
Bolgers
,
Bracegirdles
,
Goodbodies
,
Brockhouses
and
Proudfoots
.
'
ProudFEET
!
'
shouted
an
elderly
hobbit
from
the
back
of
the
pavilion
.
His
name
,
of
course
,
was
Proudfoot
,
and
well
merited
;
his
feet
were
large
,
exceptionally
furry
,
and
both
were
on
the
table
.

Proudfoots
,
repeated
Bilbo
.
Also
my
good
Sackville-Bagginses
that
I
welcome
back
at
last
to
Bag
End
.
Today
is
my
one
hundred
and
eleventh
birthday
:
I
am
eleventy-one
today
!
'
Hurray
!
Hurray
!
Many
Happy
Returns
!
'
they
shouted
,
and
they
hammered
joyously
on
the
tables
.
Bilbo
was
doing
splendidly
.
This
was
the
sort
of
stuff
they
liked
:
short
and
obvious
.
65
I
hope
you
are
all
enjoying
yourselves
as
much
as
I
am
.
Deafening
cheers
.
Cries
of
Yes
(
and
No
)
.
Noises
of
trumpets
and
horns
,
pipes
and
flutes
,
and
other
musical
instruments
.
There
were
,
as
has
been
said
,
many
young
hobbits
present
.
Hundreds
of
musical
crackers
had
been
pulled
.
Most
of
them
bore
the
mark
dale
on
them
;
which
did
not
convey
much
to
most
of
the
hobbits
,
but
they
all
agreed
they
were
marvellous
crackers
.
They
contained
instruments
,
small
,
but
of
perfect
make
and
enchanting
tones
.
Indeed
,
in
one
corner
some
of
the
young
Tooks
and
Brandybucks
,
supposing
Uncle
Bilbo
to
have
finished
(
since
he
had
plainly
said
all
that
was
necessary
)
,
now
got
up
an
impromptu
orchestra
,
and
began
a
merry
dance-tune
.
Master
Everard
Took
and
Miss
Melilot
Brandybuck
got
on
a
table
and
with
bells
in
their
hands
began
to
dance
the
Springle-ring
:
a
pretty
dance
,
but
rather
vigorous
.
66
But
Bilbo
had
not
finished
.
Seizing
a
horn
from
a
youngster
near
by
,
he
blew
three
loud
hoots
.
The
noise
subsided
.
Ishall
not
keep
you
long
,
he
cried
.
Cheers
from
all
the
assembly
.
Ihave
called
you
all
together
for
a
Purpose
.
Something
in
the
way
that
he
said
this
made
an
impression
.
There
was
almost
silence
,
and
one
or
two
of
the
Tooks
pricked
up
their
ears
.
67
Indeed
,
for
Three
Purposes
!
First
of
all
,
to
tell
you
that
I
am
immensely
fond
of
you
all
,
and
that
eleventy-one
years
is
too
short
a
time
to
live
among
such
excellent
and
admirable
hobbits
.
Tremendous
outburst
of
approval
.

68
I
do
n't
know
half
of
you
half
as
well
as
I
should
like
;
and
I
like
less
than
half
of
you
half
as
well
as
you
deserve
.
This
was
unexpected
and
rather
difficult
.
There
was
some
scattered
clapping
,
but
most
of
them
were
trying
to
work
it
out
and
see
if
it
came
to
a
compliment
.
69
Secondly
,
to
celebrate
my
birthday
.
Cheers
again
.
Ishould
say
:
OUR
birthday
.
70
For
it
is
,
of
course
,
also
the
birthday
of
my
heir
and
nephew
,
Frodo
.
He
comes
of
age
and
into
his
inheritance
today
.
Some
perfunctory
clapping
by
the
elders
;
and
some
loud
shouts
of
'
Frodo
!
Frodo
!
Jolly
old
Frodo
,
'
from
the
juniors
.
The
Sackville-Bagginses
scowled
,
and
wondered
what
was
meant
by
'
coming
into
his
inheritance
'
.
Together
we
score
one
hundred
and
forty-four
.
Your
numbers
were
chosen
to
fit
this
remarkable
total
:
One
Gross
,
if
I
may
use
the
expression
.
No
cheers
.
This
was
ridiculous
.
Many
of
his
guests
,
and
especially
the
Sackville-Bagginses
,
were
insulted
,
feeling
sure
they
had
only
been
asked
to
fill
up
the
required
number
,
like
goods
in
a
package
.
'
One
Gross
,
indeed
!
Vulgar
expression
.
